Keller ISD unanimously approved a new policy at its school board meeting in August, ruling that staff must use the pronouns listed on the child’s birth certificate, regardless of what the child may wish to be called. If a student wishes to use a different name or pronoun, staff will be required to notify the parents within 24 hours of the student’s request and parents will be required to provide written consent before the school records can be changed, the Dallas Express  reported. The new rules would also apply if a student asks to use a bathroom or locker room of the opposite gender.  After Keller ISD received some pushback for “discriminating against LGBTQ students,” including some backlash from the ACLU, the school stood firm and said that the policy revisions “are focused on the fundamental rights of parents to make decisions concerning the upbringing, education, and care of their children,” WFAA  reported. Several students did speak out, with one claiming that “I and many other queer students that you’re supposed to protect are suffering because of your decisions.” One parent, Mary Anne Weatherred, who has teenagers in the district, claimed that students “find school to be a space where they can use a different name, a different pronoun and figure out who they are.” The new policy is an update to the original policy which was introduced last summer when the board of trustees voted 5-to-0 with one absentee that stated “district staff, educators, and other district employees shall not promote, encourage, or require the use of pronouns that are inconsistent with a student’s or other person’s biological sex as it appears on the individual’s birth certificate or other government issued record.” The district also ruled that no employee or other student would be compelled to “refer to students in any manner that would violate the speaker’s constitutionally protected rights.” The board decided then that the school will “maintain separate restrooms” based on biological sex , but will allow for accommodations for student’s that are “seeking privacy” and would allow the student to use a separate bathroom, The Texan  reported. The decision comes just weeks after the board adopted a resolution denouncing the Biden administration’s change in Title IX , which would alter the language from “sex” to also include “gender identity,” allowing biological males to compete in female sports. The board slammed the change, claiming that under the new terms, biological girls and women would lose legal protections. Board President Charles Randklev said on Facebook  that “We are committed to protecting female students in our district”, KERA News  reported. Despite the outcry from organizations like the ACLU, along with numerous students and parents, requiring parents to be notified if their child wishes to identify as the opposite gender is not  discriminatory. There is nothing discriminatory about saying that biological boys should use the boys' bathroom and that boys should not be allowed to share a bathroom with girls, for the safety of the girls. The changes to Title IX do nothing to protect children, Gays Against Groomers stands with the Keller ISD board in their fight to protect children.  References  Dr. Charles Randklev, Keller ISD Board of Trustees, Place 6.

California’s Joey Macasieb has been raising hell on a bill that would violate the 14th amendment and divide California families, and he doesn't seem to be stopping anytime soon. Here's what he’s had to say so far: Gays Against Groomers is a 501(c)4 nonprofit organization consisting of gays, lesbians, and others in the community who oppose the sexualization, indoctrination, and mutilation of children under the guise of radical “LGBTQIA+” activism. We want to express our full support for the Ordinance proposed by Mayor Gracey Van Der Mark. Contrary to claims made by opponents, this Ordinance will not  adversely affect the LGBTQIA+ community. AB1955 violates the 14th Amendment, which guarantees parents or legal guardians’ sole authority over their children. The notion that this bill is meant to protect children from punishment or ostracism by their parents is misleading. Teachers and staff are already mandated reporters ; if they suspect a parent or guardian is harming or may harm a child due to the child's identity, they are legally required to report these concerns to the appropriate authorities. AB1955 effectively enables school districts to act as both guardian and judge, presuming parental guilt until innocence is proven, which contradicts state and federal laws. The claim that AB1955 protects a child's privacy is flat out misleading. While privacy is important, it cannot exist when a child's gender identity or sexual orientation is known by their peers and school staff but kept only from their parents. This bill does not safeguard privacy; rather, it creates a deliberate divide between children and their parents or guardians. AB1955 is facing legal challenges, and it will be deemed unconstitutional. What must be considered here this evening is the harm to families and children that will occur under AB1955 until this unconstitutional and reckless bill is overturned. Today, the City of Huntington Beach has an extraordinary opportunity to provide a bulwark against the nefarious forces that undermine a most sacred relationship: that of parent and child. AB1955 serves no purpose other than to divide the family and undermine parents’ rights to raise their children as they see fit, using as its mask the guise of LGBTQIA+ activism. The reality of AB1955 is that it does not protect anyone. Rather, AB1955 upholds the malignant narcissism of a radical ideology seeking to destroy.  We at Gays Against Groomers stand with you to hold the line. LGB&T people of sound moral character stand with you in support of the rights of parents to raise their children as they see fit. We urge you to advance this ordinance to protect the children and families of the City of Huntington Beach. Make no mistake, AB1955 is repugnant to the 14th amendment and will be deemed unconstitutional. Until such time, we stand with you to defend parents and their children from the forces that advance this reckless ideology. We urge you to take courage, vote yes on this ordinance, and move forward to defend parents rights.

You may have seen the word “ autogynephilia ” circulating online, but how many of us truly understand what it means? According to psychiatry research, individuals like Kris Tyson may be exhibiting a fetish known as autogynephilia . But what exactly is this sexual fetish, and how is it impacting our children? Kris Tyson left  his wife and child to pursue gender transition. Instead of being a father, he chose to follow his fetish. Here he is posing in sexy photos dressed as a schoolgirl with stiletto heels. Tyson was also caught having sexual discussions about liking 4-year-old  girls. The Oxford Dictionary  defines gender dysphoria as a chronic aversion to physical or social attributes of one's own biological sex; a state of severe distress or unhappiness caused by the feeling that one’s “gender identity” does not match one’s biological sex. This symptom is more common in young boys and typically presents itself early in life. Gender distress usually resolves after the onset of puberty. A very small minority of children with a gender dysphoria diagnosis claim a cross-sex identity in adulthood. However, with the social shift away from requiring a diagnosis of gender dysphoria and the adoption of the “self-identification” model, the lines between fetishes and reality have become blurred. Children's entertainer, Kris Tyson, was outed for promoting pornographic “Loli” cartoons and anime smut featuring little girls doing sexual acts. This content is classified as Child Sexual Abuse Imagery on Google. Autogynephilia (Transvestic Disorder) is a paraphilic disorder. After analyzing years of research, sexologists began to realize that there were trans-identifying  individuals for whom the thought of being a woman is a sexual fantasy. For example, one individual recounted imagining telling his parents and doctor that he was really a girl, and imagining himself undergoing sex reassignment surgery, all while feeling horror at the prospect of becoming sexually aroused. Another man described wearing women’s clothing and feminizing his body as sexually exciting , even after receiving “gender-affirming” surgeries. He would pretend to menstruate by urinating in sanitary pads, particularly enjoying the old-fashioned belted pad with long tabs. Trans tampons have become a heated topic, with politicians like Tim Walz legislating them to be put in bathrooms built for little boys. Boys’ bathrooms do not need tampons. It became apparent that there was a subcategory of people who identify as trans but do not experience gender dysphoria at a young age. Instead, they experience ecstasy and arousal at the thought of becoming female, usually beginning in adulthood. People with this paraphilia will feminize themselves to alter their appearance, and it is strictly for sexual gratification. Their fantasies about being a woman are formed solely around becoming the object of their own fetish. Men who leave their families to identify as little girls are publishing this type of written smut as we speak. Stefoknee identifies as a 6-year-old girl, and he published a disturbing memoir for other men with this fetish. It is marketed towards men who have a sexual desire to abandon their children and live as a little girl. This is just another way of normalizing transgender child abuse material. KEEP THIS OUT OF OUR SCHOOL LIBRARIES. One individual in an autogynephilia research cohort remembered becoming aroused at the thought of becoming female when he was around 9 or 10 years old. It wasn’t until he started therapy that he began appearing In public dressed as a female. In the early days, he would become aroused whenever anyone addressed him as “Ma’am” or performed some courtesy such as holding a door for him. This arousal led to a heightened fear of discovery…that his erection would give him away. Some of these men even “dress up” as nuns . “Even though my wife is a natural female, I can block her out and make believe she is penetrating me; or when I am lucky, she will play along and kiss me with her tongue and tell me what a pretty girl  I am.” These men often marry women, most of whom have no idea of their husbands’ sexual fantasies. Women who lost their husbands  from this are called trans widows . They have started to come out and explain the first noticeable signs that something was…different…about their husbands. Many trans widows have caught their husbands masturbating while wearing women’s clothing in secret. They have watched their husbands become sexually excited while engaging in stereotypical feminine tasks, such as shaving their legs. Women and girls do not become aroused while shaving their legs. This is a fetish of its own. And it is sweeping the nation, destroying marriages at a staggering rate. Kris Tyson is a prominent online trans celebrity whose content is geared towards minors. He spontaneously began identifying as a woman and left his wife to pursue transition, despite being a father and husband with a crippling addiction to loli-content. This led fans down a deep rabbit hole of Kris’ past sexual remarks. In a now-deleted tweet, Kris Tyson admitted to liking anime child pornography. This has led many to speculate that his transition is closer related to autogynephilia, as it can be related to other sexual disorders, such as pedophilia or even furries . Autogynephilia and autopedophilia are both categories of erotic target identity inversions, or ETIIs. In other words, it is a sexual paraphilia in which a person is aroused by the thought of being the object of one’s own sexual desires, and these disorders tend to cluster. Some examples of ETIIs include autoanthropomorphozoophilia (animals or “Furries”), autonepiophilia (infants), autoandrophilia (men), autopedophilia (children), apotemnophilia ( limb amputation fetish ), autonecrophilia (CORPSES), and of course, autogynephilia (men who identify as women). These ETIIs have led to the abuse of animals, children, and DEAD BODIES . None of these would be considered socially acceptable, with one exception: Transvestic Fetishism. Rates of autogynephilia (Transvestic Disorder) have risen in recent years, with speculation focusing on porn consumption. Andrea Long Chu  won the Pulitzer Prize [ REDUXX ] for a paper titled “Did Sissy Porn Make Me Trans?” It went viral . Sissy porn , also known as “Sissy Hypno” (short for sissification  hypnosis), is the forced feminization of men. Sissy hypno  is a subcategory of transgender-labeled pornography . The term transgender has become one of porn hub’s most popular  searches, in fact it more than quadrupled  from 2014 -2017. In these videos, the anus and penis are renamed to “clitty and pussy.” These hypnosis videos show pictures of sexualized clothing for kids, with little girls giggling in the background. Hypnotic themes of stiletto heels splattered in BLOOD  are common. Neon sissy hypnosis videos with bloody shoes  have been viewed across platforms millions of times. Childlike voices whisper in the background. Andrea Long Chu  speaks on the hyper-sexualization  that was sparked in part due to so-called “trans feminism.” In the paper, Andrea describes how porn feminizes men by allowing them to be consistently submissive for sexual gratification. Porn requires no effort, no other physical activity, none of the work while still releasing the same connection and pleasure chemicals in your brain, such as dopamine along with bonding chemicals such as oxytocin, that sexual activity does. Porn trains your brain to do very little physical or mental work and be sexually gratified, and it is highly addictive. Porn consumers usually find different taboos and fetishes from recommendations by the porn website. It can send the user spiraling down a rabbit hole of perversion. Studies show that pornography is addictive  and lowers testosterone levels in men. Andrea Long Chu was castrated and a “ fake vagina ” was created. Andrea Chu describes how replacing a natural sub/dom dynamic with a sub (male) and dom (pornography) can alter a man’s masculinity – “this power dynamic, not in the sex acted out between the powerful men and fawning women onscreen, but in the sex unfolding in real time between the pornographic image in its entirety and the viewer its flickering fantasies render powerless and obsessed…I suspect like a great number of heterosexual men, watches porn not to have power but to give it up.” A Reddit user explained: About 3 years ago, I discovered sissy hypno videos [that’s ‘hypno’ like short for ‘hypnotism’], which in a nutshell are flashing subjective images telling you to wear panties, be girly, and even take hormones. I became completely obsessed with these videos. Nothing got me off like these. It got to the point where I started wearing panties and imagining myself as a girl when I would masturbate.” There are a ton  of Reddit posts in trans online spaces questioning if their gender dysphoria is/was caused by this type of forced feminization porn. And THESE are the people who are talking to teenage girls about “gender-affirming care” online. This is the core issue: There ARE  men who are being indoctrinated by pornographic content. It would NOT  be surprising if Kris Tyson was one of them. Some of these men consume so much loliconification content that they even start to dress up as cartoon babies and children, themselves. After a while, adult males like Kris Tyson who sexually promote lolicon pornography leave their wives. They invade women’s apps . And they live a life of crossdressing and grooming the youth online with lolification content. It is so sick. It was also explicitly stated in our first run-in with Kris Tyson's demonic behavior  that these men have a fetish for “dressing up as lesbians.” And just a few months later…we received photos…of Kris Tyson…wearing the lipstick lesbian flag…as a dress. Men who watch pedophile cartoons and abandon their children to pursue their fetish are NOT lipstick lesbians.  How is this “lesbian visibility?” What visibility? You are very visible, sir. Don't worry. We see you.  One Reddit user posted, “I started watching trans porn initially five or so years ago and I remember I had post orgasm regret. Back then, I imagined myself as the guy… About a year and a half ago, I started to imagine the possibility of being the girl in these scenarios. I… wanted to be ‘forced’ to be f---ed by a man because I was turned on by the submissiveness of it. I dreamed about going to gloryholes or being blindfolded as men used me as an object for sex. Recently, I’ve started to really question everything. I love the attention and consequently feeling like the woman. This has led me to have some gender dysphoria, as I would love to be the woman and see where that would take me in my life (fully transitioned transwoman). TL;DR my sexual and gender identity has been completely flipped on its head because of sissy porn/hypno.” A multitude of users shared their similar experiences and concerns only to be publicly shut down by trans activists suggesting that their fetishes are simply a byproduct of their Gender Dysphoria, not the cause of it. To be clear, there are some men who suffer from autogynephiliic transvestism and are addicted to pedophilic anime pornography, like Kris Tyson. The   anecdotal evidence definitely suggests a correlation between trans hypnosis, sissy pornography, Lolification, and some men’s desire to feminize themselves , especially with the significant rise in numbers as of late.  ‘Gays Against Groomers’ DEMANDS Kris Tyson be REMOVED from MrBeast’s videos. ( DramaAlert, 2024 ) There may be some people who ask, “why does anyone care what other people do with their sexuality?” And to that we would like to put it as bluntly as possible- men who have autoerotic paraphilias are acting out their sexual fetishes in public and society is being forced to join in their sexual fantasies. They want everyone to participate in their fetish, INCLUDING CHILDREN. This  is what makes the Kris Tyson situation so problematic. This  is why Kris Tyson deserves to be on the media chopping block. There has been a sharp  rise in men who watch trans hypnosis pornography over the past two years. There have also been more and more adult men developing fetishes for dressing up as babies and wearing diapers. It is a horror movie come to life. THIS  is what we are speaking out against: Adult Baby content available on Reddit, along with Lolification chat rooms. Gays Against Groomers was banned from Reddit , though. Go figure. Men are engaging in their fetishes while working in schools with children, while in their locker rooms, and in restrooms with our daughters. A quick search online will display men crossdressing in women’s public bathrooms while masturbating on camera. Men, so sexually aroused by being able to engage in such an intimate, private part of a woman’s life that they need to relieve themselves in the stall next to girls who are changing their tampons. Men all around the world are taking advantage of the LGBTQIAOHMYGOD+ acronym and using it to further pursue their own sexual desires publicly. Let’s not forget that people with autogynephilia are sexually aroused by being “affirmed” by others…even a classroom  full of schoolchildren. Need us not forget the Canadian  teacher who started coming to schools to teach with massive, Z-cup fake prosthetic rubber breasts with protruding nipples and wearing women’s underwear.  This was clearly  sexual in nature. Child predators can come to school dressed like this under the Harris-Walz Title IX “gender identity” policies. We also want to make it abundantly clear - not all men who engage in AGP look like something out of a comedy movie. A very concerning aspect is most of these men are able to “pass” and assimilate as transgender. These are men who dress as women, wear women’s underwear and have society use she/her pronouns. It could be the next door neighbor who wears his wife’s panties in secret, or the masculine athlete who has a secret stash of women’s clothing hidden in his closet. This is becoming a mainstream issue, taking many forms. Fetishistic Crossdressing is a growing issue that is blurring the lines around a very dangerous paraphilia. Kris Tyson isn't the only one…men all around the world are becoming consumed with it. It’s destroying marriages and lives. And it is coming for the schools. It's time we start talking about this problem without fear of being canceled. It isn't transphobic to speak the truth, and having concerns doesn't make you a bigot. References Aggrawal, A. (2010).

The 2024 school year is now in full swing. Teachers have gone out of their way to prepare for their students. They've spent months going over the curriculum and decorating their classrooms. We were recently contacted by a concerned parent whose child attends a middle school in Suffern Central School District, NY. Their child came to them, rightfully alarmed by a questionnaire their teacher had them fill out. The form asked the children what pronouns they use and if it was okay to use those pronouns in front of other students. As if that isn't weird enough, the survey also asked students aged 10–13 if the teacher needed to hide their identity from their parents. The whistleblower child has a very close relationship with their parents. Their kids told them right away. This concerned parent went to an open house and noticed Progress Pride flags in the classrooms…multiple flags plastered all over the room. This has just become a religious ritual at this point, complete with its own symbolism and ceremonies. This whistleblower parent confronted the teachers in question, expressing their concern. The teachers regurgitated the same “we are fostering inclusion and a safe environment” line. An adult should NEVER have secrets between them and a minor. No safe adult should ever encourage children to keep things from their parents. The only other time this happens is when a child is being abused. This is opening the door for trusted adults to take advantage of children, ensuring they will already be comfortable keeping things from their parents. This is the active disassembling of the parent-child relationship—grooming at its finest. New York enacted a policy titled “ Guidelines to Support Transgender and Gender Expansive Students ” This policy encourages teachers not to disclose a transition to the parents for “safety” reasons. The policy also states “the student is in charge of their gender transition and the school’s role is to provide support.” In layman’s terms, no matter who or what the student decides to identify with, the school’s job is to affirm. This affirmation extends way beyond just preferred pronouns; it encompasses the child as a whole. The NYC Department of Education provides, upon request (and online), a “Student Name and Gender Change Request Form.” This form allows a student to change their gender marker and name. The gender marker options are male, female, and X (neither male nor female). The form also states that the student's legal name and “previously designated gender” will be archived in the DOE system. The policy also ensures that the student will be allowed access to locker rooms, bathrooms, and sports that align with their preferred gender. Horrifyingly, since the child will now be labeled as male or female, the policy makes it clear that during all overnight field trips, the student will be housed with the gender they identify with. Meaning, if a boy identifies as a girl, during overnight trips, he will be housed with the girls. Unfortunately for our children, this is becoming a growing issue within schools. In July of this year (2024), Gavin Newsom signed into law that educators are PROHIBITED from disclosing a child’s change in identity or social name to parents. This means that if a teacher is concerned about a child suddenly transitioning at school, they will be legally penalized for notifying the student's parents. Thankfully, ten states have passed bills in the opposite regard. According to Education Week , Montana, North Dakota, Iowa, Indiana, Kentucky, Arkansas, Tennessee, Alabama, Louisiana, Florida, Utah, and Arizona have all passed “pronoun laws” requiring parents to be notified of their child’s change in identity. The bills are only possible to even begin to legislate due to parent concern and high outrage. Parents have begun to see what is being pulled right in front of their eyes. Now is the time to stand up. Now is the time to speak out. We must legislate counter bills in every state in the nation, and it can only be done with the support of parents. The war on children and families is finally coming to light. What side of history will you stand on? References New York City Department of Education. (2024).

We know there is a huge debate amongst many that Lupron  (leuprolide acetate) is used as a puberty blocker for adolescent children, and is sometimes used for precocious children, which is rare. However, what we are seeing is that this drug actually does far greater harm, not just to the body, but also to the minds of children. It is completely experimental. Lupron has been used to sterilize rodents, like rats and capybaras. The drug is also used for prostate cancer patients. Whatever the intended use of the drug, its harmful effects are entirely unnecessary, especially when it comes to the natural processes of pubertal development. When you chemically alter the body, it is never 100% reversible. It takes time for the body to return to its original state, and often requires another chemical process. As a detransitioner myself, after ending the use of hormone replacement therapy with cross-sex hormones, the drugs I took have still left my body in a feminized state, particularly my chest. So, when we consider this, children put on puberty blockers like Lupron also need time to return mostly to their original state. When you stop the development of the body with Lupron, brain development stops as well. It locks the brain in a state where it no longer develops naturally. The brain does not progress beyond an adolescent state because it either stops completely or remains on a spectrum of partially returning to its original state. NOTE : There are no longitudinal studies on the long term effects of Lupron as a puberty blocking agent in children. There are serious ramifications to using a drug that blocks brain development, including cognitive and behavioral issues, such as lower IQ and mental health problems. According to Sallie Baxendale, "There is no evidence that cognitive effects are fully reversible following discontinuation of treatment" (Acta Paediatrica, 2024-06, Vol.113 (6), p.1156-1167). She further states, "There is some evidence of a detrimental impact of pubertal suppression on IQ in children.” It could be suggested that the cognitive decline in children’s brain  functions due to puberty blockers is comparable to a traumatic brain injury, as these drugs induce a pause in brain development. Although there is no direct evidence of this, anecdotal cases suggest a correlation between the use of puberty blockers and an increase in behavioral issues. These issues often manifest in violent behavior among individuals under the age of 25. I mention age 25 because that is typically when full brain development occurs naturally. Children and young adults under this age are affected by these drugs, not just physically, but mentally as well. Image: The University of Queensland According to The University of Queensland, brain development happens at approximately 35 days, 100 days, 9 months, adolescence (around age 14), and is fully completed by age 25. We can conclude that any developmental delay in the human body will also affect the brain , with such delays—if not permanent—having lasting effects on cognitive decline and the potential to cause behavioral issues in children whose brains are not fully developed. Lupron is a drug used to block puberty in young patients who identify as trans. Delays in natural brain development due to such treatments can have lasting effects, impacting not just children but also young adults. References Baxendale, S. (2024).

The world of camping and scouting, once known for instilling leadership values and creating lifelong friendships, has been infiltrated by a movement that sees childhood as a political playground. The Boy Scouts started taking a turn for the worse after decades-long sexual abuse by troop leaders came to light, with over 80,000 men saying they were abused. This scandal led them to declare bankruptcy. Instead of choosing to rebuild and create an organization that truly promotes healthy child development, they’ve decided to embrace a radical rebranding. They welcomed girls into the Cub Scouts and later scrapped their iconic name  for the neutered "Scouting America.” The backlash  was immediate. Eagle Scouts, veterans, and parents felt alienated by an organization that seemed more interested in ideological pandering than in the well-being of children. It goes to show that no child's space is safe from the reach of a movement that seeks to blur biological reality and endanger our youth. This is the deliberate dismantling of an institution that shaped generations of young men! It makes you wonder if 'Scouting America' is just trying to save face after declaring bankruptcy from having to shell out millions of dollars in legal damages. We see right through their corporate cover-up. As always, our fans at Media Matters  wrote a hit piece, citing Gays Against Groomers’ firm stance  against the rebrand as an example of right-wing pundits pushing anti-LGBTQ messaging to stir up bigotry. But the Boy Scouts  rebranding was not an isolated incident. They are just the latest victim of a wider contagion infecting scouting  and summer camps  nationwide. These were once havens for kids to escape the pressures of school and discover their potential in the great outdoors. Now, many camps are being rebranded as “ gender-inclusive ” and repurposed into laboratories for gender experimentation, where children as young as eight are encouraged to announce "preferred pronouns" and are housed according to these fluid identities, not their safety or biological needs. Camps that once emphasized teamwork and resilience now promote "gender affirmation" above all else. Counselors, often barely out of their teens, are tasked with navigating the complex mental health needs of prepubescent children questioning their identity. CampOUT!  is a summer camp  in British Columbia for queer, trans, Two-Spirit, questioning, and allied youth with campers as young as 14. They specialize in "drag workshops" where drag queens encourage campers to "explore identity and what it means to be human." That sounds a little culty, don't ya think? According to their website, "Cabins are organized by AGE! … It is a helpful way to organize cabins to be gender inclusive!" This means mixed-sex sleeping arrangements and facilities where boys and girls will be housed together. What could possibly go wrong? Drag is not for kids. And any parent who knowingly sends their kids away to such a place needs a reality check. Camp Indigo, as described on its website, is a "summer day camp for transgender and gender diverse youth in California, Colorado, Ohio, and Texas." The camp claims that everything they do "benefits the community" and that they are "honoring our intersectional identities, protecting spaces for our most marginalized campers and staff, and celebrating the magic that is being trans." They claim to push inclusivity, but the camp only  includes “transgender and non-binary children,” explicitly excluding anyone who doesn't go by special pronouns. Adding to the controversy, Camp Indigo offers activities including attending Pride events. “Camp Indigo teens participate in off-campus pride events that occur during the camp day. Also, gear up for an on-campus trans prom!” As we have seen from the exhibitionism run amok in the streets this past month, it is safe to say that these events have become increasingly explicit, often featuring attendees in kink-related clothing, widespread nudity, public displays of fetishes and sex acts, a Pride Parade is the last thing a child should ever be subjected to. It has been reported that the camp's environment can lead to children feeling pressured to make “gender-affirming changes” they might not have previously considered. According to their website , “it isn't uncommon for teens (especially) to see/learn about possibilities that they hadn't yet considered and to feel a strong need to make gender affirming changes … We really encourage avoiding statements like, ‘what if you change your mind?’ This doesn't typically land well with our kiddos!” Not only is Camp Indigo a hotbed for social contagion , but parents who send their kids there are told to obey and affirm whatever identity their child comes home with. Camp Indigo says that a healthy transition is “one that is child-led ,” noting that kids “need to feel like they’re in charge, because it’s their body. As caretakers and adults in these kids' lives, we really have to prioritize these opportunities to truly convey that the child has that autonomy.” The camp serves minors aged 5-17, divided into three groups: ages 5–11, 12–13, and 14–17. The camp for the youngest children, aged 5-11, is particularly concerning. At such a young age, children should be playing outdoors and learning social skills at summer camp, not being groomed into an identity crisis that only hormone injections can fix. It starts with pronouns, but when a child is considering pursuing a medical route, Camp Indigo has the resources for them and provides guidance from the activist clinicians themselves. Dr. Ilana Sherer , who is considered a pioneer in “gender-affirming care,” discussed fertility preservation methods for children who have had their puberty blocked in an interview with Camp Indigo. “Though I haven’t had any of my trans masculine patients harvest eggs, some of my trans feminine patients have undergone experimental testicular tissue preservation,” she said, referring to a testicular biopsy . This is a very controversial procedure  where child butchers remove  a portion of the underdeveloped testicle, freeze  it, and hope that some stem cells are available in the future to harvest (Costa, 2023).  If a child is not even mature enough to produce gametes, then they are most definitely not mature enough to remove part of their testicle. No child can consent to such grotesque experimentation. Children are not lab rats. Where were all of these "trans kids" twenty, ten, or even five years ago? What was once a vanishingly rare medical condition and niche subculture has managed to spread like wildfire among children, to the point where they now have their own summer camps. In 2020, Dr. Ilana Sherer  spoke very fondly about the sharp rise in children identifying as transgender and nonbinary, stating that “Kids are now taught they can be whoever they want to be. We’re breaking down this imaginary social binary that tells you what each gender should do, but we’re also telling kids that you are in charge of how you live your best life and your best self.” It is extremely alarming that an organization openly boasts about specifically targeting children who express discomfort with their biological sex in such a manner. These “trans camps” are just taking advantage as a means to control and program the next generation according to their own agenda. Alabama lawmakers  even tried to intervene and add Space Camp  to their extended Parental Rights in Education bill. Space Camp is a place where children learn about NASA, the space shuttle program, and our nation’s history in space. Children always stayed in sex-separated dorms with male counselors overseeing boys and female counselors overseeing girls. Well, that no longer seems to be the case. An Alabama Space Camp witnessed an uproar over its trans-activist employee when evidence of online misconduct surfaced in a Facebook  post by Clay Yarbrough, the parent of a potential attendee. "My daughter was planning on going to Space Camp next week, but we have just found out that this freak is a team lead and a hall monitor in the girls' dorms and at times, could be allowed to be alone in the halls at night." Another concerned parent commented on Yarbrough's post, stating, “Molly was in the same room with female children campers where the directors told us personally that ‘Molly’ isn’t allowed to be.” Molly Bowman, the staff member in question, has a history of promoting the radical trans agenda to minors and adults. Bowman frequently boasts about exposing others to 'gender-affirming' imagery and messages. Bowman posted a picture of a notebook adorned with several “gender-affirming stickers” to use at his new Space Camp job. Molly Bowman’s now-hidden Twitter account contains multiple problematic images and posts with violent and sexually charged content, including references to cross-dressing and being 'a girl that has a dick.' It is both concerning and alarming that Space Camp, once a beloved institution, seems to have prioritized diversity over the safety and comfort of its campers by hiring people who parents simply cannot trust. The post also revealed that one of their former Camp Counselors, Chase Derek Flatau , was arrested for POSSESSION OF CHILD PORNOGRAPHY .   Despite backlash, Bowman has only been transferred out of Space Camp, not fired from the organization altogether. As children, we had summer camps and scouting organizations where we could join and learn to grow. Our parents often worked hard to shield us from what could best be described as the horrors of the world. Today, however, it seems many adults are indifferent to what children, including their own, are exposed to. If parents want to send their son or daughter to summer camp without them coming back radicalized, they should make sure to look into who is running it first and know what they're signing their kid up for.

A few months ago, we noticed that Gays Against Groomers had its own Wikipedia page. It was surprisingly much longer than we predicted it would be. And what we found was very disturbing. It was filled with incoherent conspiracy theories, fabricated stories about non-existent members, fairy tales about how we are secret billionaires who want to take over the world, bigoted slurs, and it even compared us to Adolf Hitler. The author made outrageous accusations that are not backed up by any facts or evidence. The Wikipedia page includes a reference list, indicating where they got their information. It is based on tabloids from vicious publications like Media Matters, random tweets from deranged trans activists, and a podcast episode where Imara Jones lists off some ideas that they outright admit are conspiracy theories. It is odd that someone would go through such great lengths to discredit a nonprofit organization with a noble mission. But after we did some digging, we found that it was created by a user named "TransAnarchist" and was locked for editing. We released a short statement correcting some of the odd claims that were made. Since we had no way to edit and fix this issue, we hoped that it would eventually just go away. It hasn't. Our membership has skyrocketed since late Spring. We have accepted over 120 members so far. Our movement is stronger than ever. And we do not want anyone to be discouraged from doing activism with us based on what that website says. Since this problem does not seem like it is going to fix itself, we figured it would be best to go through these accusations one-by-one and give an official response to each of them, in order to provide clarification about who we are and what we stand for. 1.) Accusation: "Gays Against Groomers (GAG) is an American far-right and anti-LGBT organization known for campaigning against gender-affirming care for minors, protesting school curriculum content with LGBT themes, and criticizing Drag Queen Story Hour events." Response: Gays Against Groomers is a strictly non-partisan organization. We have members who come from all backgrounds and viewpoints. We have apolitical members, gays who work in politics, gun-wielding gay couples from The Bible Belt, and Michfest lesbian feminists from California who all disagree on many things. But we are willing to unite with those who think differently than us for one common cause: ending the war on children. I have voted Democrat in every election and even campaigned for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in the Bronx in 2018. Calling us "far-right" is absolute nonsense. We are critical of Drag Queen Story Hour events because we feel that some of the outfits and routines are too raunchy and revealing. There is no reason for a male crossdresser wearing fake breasts to read books in front of a room full of kindergarteners. Some queer activists claim that these events promote acceptance and teach children to respect the "LGBTQIA+ Community." Taking your kid to a drag queen event to teach them how to respect "LGBTQIA+ people" is like taking them to a strip club to teach them how to respect women. The books that they are reading to these children (aged 3-11) introduce very complicated topics about gender identity, gender transition, being "trapped in the wrong body" and imply that humans can change sex. Some of these children are becoming confused and are led to believe that their body is wrong. While Drag Queen Story Hour is presented as a wholesome family event, it is vastly inappropriate for 4-year-olds to attend. If a pair of lesbian mothers wanted to visit their child’s classroom and read a book about how every family is different and unique in order to promote tolerance, then that would be a great idea. However, we do NOT approve of pornographic material being given to children at the school library, and neither should you. Not only is that disgusting, but cartoon pornography has nothing to do with being gay and this does not benefit us in the slightest. In fact, it does the exact opposite. We reject the pseudoscience that is being forced down children's throats. Boys and girls are being taught that men can get pregnant, gender is a spectrum that changes from day-to-day, puberty blocking drugs are safe, and biological sex is not real. They should be taught the truth: Sex is binary and immutable. Sex is determined based on whether your reproductive system is organized to produce small or large gametes, an estrogen/androgen-dominant endogenous hormone profile, and the presence of a Y-chromosome (SRY gene). We should get back to teaching kids about reality, instead of lying to them. "Gender-affirming care" for minors must be outlawed and criminalized on a federal level. Most children who meet some of the criteria for “early-onset gender incongruence” outgrow their dysphoria and wind up being gay and lesbian adults. Gender distress will alleviate for upwards of 80% of these kids when they go through puberty. However, instead of letting them experience their natural puberty, they are being given puberty blockers and injected with steroids instead. One follow-up study of 139 gender dysphoric boys determined that 88% of them desisted and did not go through with transition and chemical castration. This child abuse is being banned all over Europe and recognized by professionals as the new gay conversion therapy. We believe that any form of conversion therapy should be outlawed, whether it is in the form of organ removal or "praying the gay away." Stop transing the gay away. Why would anybody who claims to support the gay community be okay with sterilizing and amputating the body parts of confused children? Instead of letting them grow into healthy gay adults, they are medicalized and forever dependent on pharmaceutical drugs that cause osteoporosis, heart attacks, brain swelling, and uterine atrophy. Accusing us of being "anti-LGBT" is ridiculous. Personally, I am so thankful that I'm gay. How could I not be? I wouldn't want to be anything else. That is the main reason why I am in this fight – the popularization of this new gay conversion therapy is the most worrisome trend I have seen in a long time. I love being a gay man. And if I was growing up today, I would have been transitioned and denied that experience. Anybody who supports the needless butchering of same-sex oriented teenagers are no friend of our community. You support gay conversion therapy and abuse. This medical scandal is being shut down both nationally and internationally. When it is finally destroyed for good, we fully intend on calling out the anti-gay tyrants who promoted it, even when they had enough available evidence showing how evil this is. 2.) Accusation: "A spokesperson for the LGBT advocacy group GLAAD has claimed that we characterize the LGBTQ+ people as pedophiles." Response: If the child sexual mutilation advocates at GLAAD actually paid attention, they would see that GAG calls out the bad behavior of straight people as much as any other group. Queer ideology's hostile takeover of our institutions is having devastating effects on children. Our organization feels that it is important to fight it from WITHIN the community and working together to do what is right. For instance, we constantly point out the filth that has entered the public school curriculum. This curriculum was not created by gay people. It was created by straight people. The vast majority of corrupt teachers and counselors who we expose are straight people. The predatory pharmaceutical industry that is creating permanent patients out of innocent children is also controlled by straight people. GLAAD has recently shifted its focus towards "trans rights" and advocating for "queer people" instead of gays. On March 24, 2013, GLAAD announced that it had formally dropped "Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation" from their name and would now be known only as GLAAD to reflect their work more accurately. The NGO has made it very clear that they no longer have the same values as they used to. Given the false claims that they make about GAG, they seem to be the ones who promote the defamation of gays and lesbians who disagree with child medical abuse. 3.) Accusation: Gays Against Groomers is only promoted by right-wing media outlets. Response: We want our message out to EVERYONE but the only media that will give us a voice happens to be more right-leaning. We would love to make appearances on left-wing media, but sadly, we have yet to receive an invitation from any, nor do they reply to our requests. 4.) Accusation: “On August 19, 2022, [Jaimee] Michell told One America News Network that they are working toward a federal ban on gender-affirming care for minors.” Response: This statement is correct and we are nearly halfway there. 5.) Accusation: “In September 2022, the Miami-Dade School Board was considering declaring October LGBTQ+ History Month as they had the year before. Before the school board meeting, Gays Against Groomers had trucks drive around the city claiming the district teaches "radical gender ideology." The truck was also parked outside the board district meeting during the vote.” Response: We sent a billboard truck to a Florida school board meeting to voice our dissent about gender theory being taught in the classroom. The #GAGtruck displayed some of our slogans to get our message across while it drove around Miami. This was the first time we used a billboard truck. It was so successful that we have been sending these trucks to cities all over the country ever since. In June, we attended seven pride festivals and sent our truck to each one, playing our Pride Month ad. We received an avalanche of applications, and in the past month, our organization has grown in membership by a whopping 26%. It is a peaceful and effective way of endorsing our message. We do not understand why anybody would take issue with it. Regardless, we would like to make it clear to our haters that if our Gay nonprofit wants to drive our Gay truck around the Gay Village and park it next to The Stonewall Inn (a downtown NYC Gay bar where the Gay rights movement originated) at the Gay parade for all of the Gays to see, then we have as much of a right to do so as any other "LGBTQIA" organization. Seeing gay and lesbian couples hunt down the truck in order to take a few pictures in front of it was out of this world. They looked so happy when they saw it for the first time. And they repeatedly thanked us for the work we do and content we create, with huge smiles on their faces. Radical gender activists can say whatever they want about us, but we know that we are doing the right thing for our community. 6.) Accusation: “In January 2023, the head of the Arizona chapter of GAG voiced his support for Arizona Senate Bill 1001, which would prohibit teachers and school officials from using students' preferred pronouns if they do not match their gender assigned at birth without written permission from parents.” Response: Nobody has the right to keep a child’s cross-sex identity a secret from their parents. Teachers would never affirm a student's anorexia behind their parents' backs, putting them on a one-way path to liposuction. So, why are they affirming a child's perceived "gender identity?" Supposedly, the reason for affirming their identity at school is that it "positively affects their mental health." However, recent data says otherwise. A new study surveyed 1,655 parents of children who have recently adopted a cross-sex identity. They found that after social transition, children became much worse off, showing an increase in psychosocial distress (Diaz et. al, 2023). Their mental health deteriorated considerably. Socially transitioning a child at school might actually harm children’s mental health. Social transition is directly correlated with persistence in trans identification, and these children are more likely to become sterilized with puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones. 7.) Accusation: “Alejandra Caraballo, a clinical instructor at Harvard, described GAG as "a conservative funded propaganda account to push the groomer ‘libel.’" Response: We are a non-profit and all of our funding comes from selling our own merchandise and small donations from our supporters. Caraballo spent months harassing us at one point. Less than one week after our Twitter page launched, she/her started a conspiracy theory that Gays Against Groomers is run by Nazis and compared us to people who worked for Adolf Hitler. In actuality, our founder and president is a Jewish lesbian, and we do not appreciate that level of bigotry. Caraballo was also responsible for doxxing our founder's last name, although she was going to make it public eventually. 8.) Accusation: Child mutilation and gay conversion therapy advocate, Imara Jones, speculated that The Heritage Foundation was funding Gays Against Groomers, suggesting we must have a budget of close to a million dollars and stating it could not have come organically from the gay community. Response: As lovely as that sounds, we do not have a million dollar budget, nor are we funded by The Heritage Foundation. If that were the case, then we wouldn't need to sell t-shirts on our website in order to get the job done. A lot of the people who buy our merch and donate ARE in the gay community. Any money that we get is put towards our activism and none of us are profiting off of this whatsoever. We are all volunteers. Gay adults love the work that we are doing and express their gratitude everyday. However, child sexual mutilation activists would rather lie about us because they hate the fact that our organization's existence destroys the narrative that all of us agree with butchering children. That could not be further from the truth. 9.) Accusation [Imara Jones]: “Gays Against Groomers is not a nonprofit. They receive unlimited cash from a secret billionaire Christian CABAL.” Response: Please go see a counselor. 10.) Accusation [Imara Jones]: “It’s actually a giant clan, a billionaire clan. They [the Christian cabal of billionaires] shop for people from the communities that they’re targeting who are willing to essentially carry the message that they want them to carry if they give them a large enough check. And so they will go out and they’ll look for a Jaimee Michell — this is not uncommon — they’ll be actively looking for these people online or elsewhere. And once they find them, they will either engage them or platform them or say, ‘Can we introduce you to other people?’ and that’s literally how it gets started.” Response: Once again, we are not affiliated with any of these fascist billionaires they keep referring to. There is no evidence for this claim whatsoever. It comes from a conspiracy theory that Jones came up with for a podcast. We have no idea who any of these people are. That is psychotic. No, thank you. 11.) Accusation [Imara Jones talking about GAG]: "A lot of the TERFs that you see platformed, and TERF organizations, it’s all because the Heritage Foundation went and found them..." Response: None of us are funded by The Heritage Foundation or any far-right organizations. Jones referred to our founder as a TERF (in a derogatory way). "TERF" or "Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist" originally started out as a homophobic, anti-lesbian slur. Jones then proceeded to compare our movement to the Holocaust and Nazi Germany. Sexist, bigoted men have been referring to lesbians as "Feminazis" for decades. This is nothing new. But now the misogynists are wearing lipstick, which somehow makes them immune from criticism. Go figure. They did the same exact thing to JK Rowling for two years and she wound up being right about everything. So, we will take it as a compliment for now. In conclusion: Gays Against Groomers DEMANDS that this issue is addressed immediately. We want the false accusations GONE. We want the bigotry REMOVED. We will no longer tolerate fraudulent statements presenting themselves as facts. Gays deserve way better than this. And we are more than willing to help with this process, if needed. We also invite "TransAnarchist" to reach out and let us know what city they live in so we can drive our Gay truck around and ruin their day. Unlike the pronoun supremacists, we don't get easily offended over everything. But there are some instances where eventually, you need to put your foot down and set the record straight. When dealing with a bunch of liars, all you need to do is tell the truth.

What defines a medical professional? One thing that all medical professionals are sworn to adhere to is the Hippocratic Oath. In essence, the Hippocratic Oath is a set of rules and guidelines that medical professionals must obey in order to uphold ethical medical care. “It requires a new physician to uphold specific ethical standards.” Unfortunately, there are many examples of medical professionals who do not seem to take said oath very seriously. One of the most notable examples is the infamous Dr. Jack Turban. For many of us growing up, we were taught that doctors and nurses are our heroes. We were taught that we could trust them to make us feel better. Unfortunately, Jack Turban is not one of them. One would think that a medical professional would want to help those with certain conditions get better or perhaps even learn to manage them. Instead, Jack seems to think that “Access to gender-affirming medical care [puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones during adolescence] is linked to better mental health outcomes in adulthood.” A simple Google search would reveal quite the opposite of what Jack preaches. Currently, 24 U.S. States have restricted access to these interventions due to the irreparable harm that they cause. “Gender-affirming hormones and surgeries” have NOT been proven safe or effective at improving the mental health of children who experience distress over their biological sex. ‘Doctor’ Turban frequently clashes with anybody who does not share his worldview. He previously blocked one of our members for merely asking for proof of Turban’s claims. Why should a graduate from Yale Medical School and former intern with Stanford advocate for experimenting on children? Instead of helping these kids, he chooses to abuse his power by surgically altering minors with unnecessary medical procedures. Jack Turban’s new book, "Free To Be," was released on June 4th, 2024. It is easy to read, well-written, and provocative. One would expect that a professional—assistant professor at a major university, and with an MD (a psychiatrist, no less)—would have clarity of thought, a high level of personal and professional ethics, and value creating the best outcomes for distressed youth. However, Turban fails on all counts. His audience with this book is not specifically minors with a trans identity, but parents and other adults who may otherwise intervene on behalf of a child. He’s grooming his accomplices. The format of the book centers around the stories of three “gender expansive” youth whom he follows for several years, with the middle section filled with composite characters and Turban’s predictable arguments against safeguarding children. He presents the children as small sages who “know who they are” long before they have any adult understanding of themselves, life, sex, or their own future adult lives. Turban checks off the main “trans child” boxes. The first is a little boy encouraged to think he’s a girl, rather than a feminine boy. The family is described as affluent and accepting, and the home is large and inviting. The child is carefree. All the basic tropes of a gender non-conforming boy's interests meaning that he’s a girl are present. No one thinks he may grow up to be a gay man or a feminine straight man – he’s definitely a girl. The second child is the quintessential suicidal daughter of “transphobes,” rescued at the emergency room. There is no exploration of why this girl so desperately wants to be anything other than the young woman that she is – trauma, autism, porn, nothing. The third child is the “non-binary” non-conformist. He’s a boy who likes this and that, and does not “identify as” a boy or a girl in particular. His mother is also portrayed as progressive, attentive, and forward-thinking. After introducing us to his protagonists, Turban loads us on the trans train, trumpeting its gender pseudoscience. He diligently uses all of the gender cult vernacular as if it were a given, not recent social engineering. We go down the tracks of sex being assigned at birth, dismissing it as “based on genitals the doctor saw when you were born.” He starts us right away, questioning what sex is, as if humans have not known what sex is before we became Homo Sapiens. As if the doctor, midwife, parents, the janitor at the hospital, or the three-year-old next door doesn’t recognize the existence of sexual dimorphism. Turban distinguishes gender expression and “gender identity,” going to great lengths to convince us that not only do human beings have a “gender identity,” but that said identity is beyond question, ever. He introduces us to the concept of “cisgender” being a natural contrast to “transgender,” as if that nomenclature made any sense whatsoever. One cannot be “on this side” or “the other side” of their own sex. Genderists like Turban will insist that sex and gender are different, and then in the same breath conflate the two. Turban does this throughout the rest of the book. Another element that goes unchallenged in Turban’s book is the hyperfocus on the individual and the individual’s often internet- and sometimes pornography-fueled self-concept as a public issue rather than a private one. Obsessive navel-gazing and self-absorption are antithetical to functioning as a society, especially when it drives public policies, like sex-segregated spaces, child education, and sports. After framing the mythical gender as trumping the material reality of sex, the author explores the history of mothers being blamed for unexpected developmental trajectories in their children. Using the errant belief that children were autistic because their mothers were poorly engaged is compared to the mothers of trans-identified children, as if there is no social capital to gain for mothers of a “trans child” in the current climate. They then get to be The Best Ever Mother by investing in their child’s error – that they aren’t the sex they are. Parents do want the absolute best for their children, and sometimes that includes the unpopular act of telling them “No,” especially in an environment of social contagion. In this exploration of the “trans child,” Turban’s only mention of autism is to debunk autism being caused by the mother. He ignores both the DSM-5-TR and the WPATH Standards of Care (8th edition) which make note of the correlation of trans identities and autism. Turban also ignores the correlation of trans identity with mental illness, assault, having a special needs sibling, borderline personality disorder, and eating disorders. None of these co-existing risks are acknowledged whatsoever. The most shocking aspect of Turban describing child sterilization is not just that he calls it “gender-affirming care,” but that he refers to a minor’s breasts as “chest tissue.” This is an example of linguistic sleight of hand that warps people’s thinking without their awareness. This linguistic sleight of hand that non-consensually shifts the thinking of well-intentioned parents and teachers is a major threat to the well-being of children finding their way into maturity. There is no “top surgery”; it is a radical double mastectomy for girls and breast implants for boys. There is no “bottom surgery”; it’s vaginoplasty or phalloplasty, which often leaves patients sexually dysfunctional. He also describes blocking puberty as some sort of benevolent “pause.” This is absolutely false. Blocking puberty affirms that a child’s healthy body is wrong somehow, while denying the myriad dangers of subverting puberty as a coping mechanism that never solves the actual distress. While painting medically transitioning his little sages as wholesale right and good without exception, he completely ignores detransitioners and desisters. He doesn’t even dismiss those who detransition or desist – he completely fails to acknowledge them, the reasons why they are generally invisible to contemporary research, and the implications of their strong voices. After delving into all the prescribed gender language and narratives, he returns to our three sages and their relationship with puberty blocking and transition. Clearly, they have all been “affirmed” as a special kind of person throughout Turban’s research and follow-up. The little boy who thinks he’s a girl accepts puberty blockers as if he were rescued from the gas chambers. Obviously, someone encouraged him to believe that growing up is the worst thing that could happen to him. The suicidal child is too old to block puberty, but her apparently Neanderthal parents are coerced to accept cross-sex hormones. She performs the ritual of The Sacred Testosterone Injections, as if this is normal or addresses the circumstances that led her to disassociate from her sex. Our third sage, who rejects male stereotypes and also rejects transition, is probably the best situated, though they intend to keep approaching him about radical medical interventions to which he can’t consent. Turban wraps the book up by reiterating his major points. Though in his book, Jack Turban says that sexual orientation is based on “gender identity” and not sex. He has no problem throwing all homosexuals under the bus with his trans narratives. Yes, our country does have a lot of work to do. We need to depend on the educated to do the right thing, to earnestly seek to do good, to discern what’s real and what’s right. Yes, children have the right to be their funky selves – to be feminine, masculine, or any combination. They also have a right to their healthy bodies. Children aren’t little sages. They depend on adults, on us, to lovingly guide them to be their integrated selves so they can live their best adult lives. They depend on us to lovingly tell them the truth. And unfortunately, when it comes to Jack Turban, that does not seem to be the case. References: American Psychiatric Association. (2022). Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.

Arizona Democrat lawmakers teamed up with Planned Parenthood last month to host a “Drag Story Hour” at the Capitol in Phoenix, where a Drag Queen read a children’s book to a group of adults, encouraging the parents to “listen to your kids” and encourage them to transition, the Texas Family Project reported. This concept is so confusing that the Drag Queen had to make his point with a children’s picture book to push parents into allowing their young children to pursue gender transition. These children aren’t old enough to make any other permanent decisions on their own, but somehow they are mature enough to know that they were supposedly born into the wrong body. It is clear to anyone who is paying attention that Drag Queens who support “family-friendly” events and those who are upset that children are not allowed to be in attendance at shows that are meant for adults are indeed trying to indoctrinate and groom the current generation, and then indoctrinate parents into going along with it. And this isn’t a problem that just suddenly became an issue in the last year or two. One Drag Queen named Dylan Pontiff, who goes by the name Santana Pilar Andrews, even admitted in 2018 what the goal was and that “this is going to be the grooming of the next generation.” Pontiff made it clear that “we are trying to groom the next generation” and that’s going to be “very beautiful.” “We want educators to teach future generations of children to accept queer sexuality. In fact, our very future depends on it. Recruiting children? You bet we are,” activist Daniel Villarreal wrote in a column back in 2011. Villarreal admitted in that piece that talks about how they are not trying to indoctrinate your children is a lie. “We trip all over ourselves promising not to mention queers in front of the kids when in fact we’d love to,” Villarreal wrote in the piece. There is a group of boundary-crossing narcissists who are openly admitting that they are indeed “coming for your children.” It is long past time that we take them at their word and put an end to things like Drag Story Hour and “family-friendly” drag events, and make drag shows 18+ only, like we would with any strip club. No rational person opposes preventing children from being in attendance at shows that are sexual in nature, regardless of their sexuality. It’s not anti-LGBT or even anti-drag to say that children should not be in attendance. It’s time that we start making the health and safety of the next generation a priority.

You may have heard of the controversy surrounding a trans activist's disqualification from a political campaign in Ohio. This decision, deemed "transphobic" by many, is a result of Joy not revealing his "deadname" (birth name) during his candidacy declaration. Hearing people say "deadname" instead of "birth name" can be jarring because it substitutes "birth" with "death," giving the impression of killing off one's old self. The term "deadname" actually holds significant weight within the transgender community, referring to a name that should be permanently left in the past because it belonged to a person who no longer exists. This name, even if known by close friends and family for years, is seen as a life no longer led. Any mention of it is forbidden, and some places have declared deadnaming to be a civil rights violation warranting discrimination. It's a very morbid concept when you think about it. It puts others in a situation where they are mandated to pretend like someone they've known their whole lives is no longer here... as if that person has died. We reached out to the Ohio Board of Elections for more information but unfortunately did not receive many responses. Our Legislative Director looked into the specifics and determined that Joy's removal ties back to the Ohio code, specifically Section 3513.271, which mandates the disclosure of any name changes within the five years leading up to the filing of a statement of candidacy. The law is clear in its requirements, protects American citizens from criminals and criminal activities, and even Vanessa Joy admitted to understanding the logic behind his removal. We found no evidence of this being done to cause harm. It is not an attack on anybody's identity. Erin Reed is infamous for promoting fear and division, often distorting the meaning behind child protection laws and framing them as an attempt to ban the trans community from going out in public. No, seriously. He said the same thing about our drag ban. Did Miss Erin forget that laws in the United States are created to help the innocent, to ensure that the average United States citizen is protected against criminals? The law was created so the public can vet candidates who may have been known under other identities. But Erin Reed wants you to believe otherwise. In the article “Transgender Candidate Removed From Ballot In Ohio Over Decades Old Name Change Law,” Erin Reed pushes fear into the hearts of many by stating “the Republican party of Ohio could potentially weaponize this against trans candidates across the state.” (Reed, 2024) This narrative that the Ohio code is a tool of transphobia, designed to prevent individuals with gender dysphoria from running for political office, is a lie. If this was the case, then there wouldn't be so many individuals from the trans community being elected to government positions. Admiral Levine is the 17th Assistant Secretary for Health for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Service. That alone shatters the myth of systemic barriers aimed at the transgender community in politics. Joy's accusations didn't end there. He also targeted married women, criticizing the law for not acknowledging women who change their names due to marriage (Humanity, 2024). Perhaps Joy doesn’t understand that, although it’s not as commonplace, men can also change their names due to marriage? Also, marriage is not just between heterosexuals. Homosexuals marry, too, and proudly carry one another’s last names! Also, taking another person’s last name in marriage is quite different than completely changing one’s entire name to match their new identity. As it pertains to the Ohio law, marriage records are easily accessible with all previous names listed in a registry. Marriage records are far different than concealing a previous name and should not be used as an excuse to spread hate against married women. Joy wants you to see him as someone who is warm, kind, and gentle, filled with love for humanity. A woman who loves her son and wants to be a warm mother rather than a cold father. Joy claims that he didn’t know about the law in Ohio and blames others for his lack of knowledge, yet, as his podcast listeners hear over and over again, he allegedly doesn’t have a job; therefore, he has time to go over each of the campaign laws with a fine-tooth comb. That would be a wise use of time. It’s understandable that Joy wants to present as a professional on Linkedin. However, the joblessness was also a lie. There is another face to Joy that he doesn’t want you to remember, even though he said he had no problem with everyone knowing about it -- pornography. “And I have an OnlyFans account, too, which should spice things up a little bit,” Joy bragged in episode 30 of the Transcending Humanity podcast. He also proclaimed, “I’m embracing the stuff that makes me look bad.” These are bold words for someone who wanted to run for office! What is Joy trying to hide? Not much from his paying fans, apparently. Joy claimed his campaign was going to focus on things such as free childcare paid for by wealthy corporations and not focus on his trans identity. However, the entire purpose of Joy’s podcast, YouTube videos, and other social media platforms is to focus on his transition and the transformation from Jeremy Michael Adams to Vanessa Joy. In several episodes of the Transcending Humanity Podcast, people who do not think like Joy or who question Joy’s motives are called vile and considered enemies; even when describing himself as a male in the very first episode, Joy said he didn’t like being “an entitled cis-white guy.” Even in Joy’s YouTube video under the handle “Vanesstradiol,” he implies that anyone who agrees with the decision to prevent children from having their healthy organs removed are fascists. This is the face Joy wants to hide from the public so he can claim victimhood over a law intended to protect Ohio citizens from criminals. As heartwarming as Joy wants to be perceived as, he seems to run a tireless tirade against men and women whom he sees as a non-ally and a threat. In episode 30, Joy agreed that 3-year-old children can identify as the opposite sex and change their gender. He also admitted to exposing himself in front of his toddler while dilating himself to ensure that his surgically constructed neo-vagina would remain open. Joy is not hesitant to share information about dilation on TikTok, as well as, the names he gave them. Yes, this man named his dilators. Imagine if a woman admitted to doing something like this? There is never a situation where a child should be exposed to a dilator or understand how it is used. Joy openly admitted to having an OnlyFans page, hated himself for being “an entitled cis-white man” before transitioning, believes that 3-year-olds can determine their own gender, and uses dilators in front of his child. And this person expects everyone to believe that he is a victim of an “outdated” law. Do not fall for this false narrative. In actuality, Joy is a bully who uses his influence to spread hate against men, women, and children who do not conform to his views. He wants people to believe that, while he was dilating himself in front of his toddler, he was being discriminated against by a law set in place to protect Ohio citizens from electing nefarious individuals. But from what it looks like, the only nefarious individual whom Ohio needs to worry about is Vanessa Joy. Even Facebook is not safe from Joy’s oversharing. When Joy advocates for 3-year-olds to change genders, he wants them to experience exactly what he is experiencing and deems gross in his Facebook posts: Joy is notorious for spreading misinformation on his podcast, even admitting he just reads things that fit his narrative without verifying the information, proudly proclaiming in episode 28 “I haven’t verified any of that. But when do we verify anything on the show? You know? People listen to us because we’re cute and stuff.” From trying to be an Onlyfans celebrity to pleasuring yourself in front of your child, to claiming that children as young as 3 can change their gender, to pretending to be a victim while victimizing married women… Vanessa, my dear, we are calling you out. We have your number, Joy, and it's not #1 Mom. References: Codes. (1995). Ohio code: Section 3513.271 | Name change within five years immediately preceding filing of statement of candidacy.

Nude men on bikes. Nudist booths. Naked people in fountains. Since when is this socially appropriate? The unsettling trend of public nudity in the presence of children is becoming increasingly hard to ignore. There is a worrisome rise in the number of men who are looking to mingle in "family-friendly spaces" while naked. Our culture seems to have taken a shift and is now starting to defend the idea of children being around naked adult strangers. Looking at the comment sections in the now-viral videos, there are hundreds of people defending the nudists and their behavior. "It's natural!" or "We should be teaching our children to love all bodies!" or even "I am glad we are moving towards showing children that their bodies are nothing to be ashamed of!" While these ideas may seem innocent and maybe even empowering, they are, in reality, opening the doorway for the exploitation of children. Children are not inherently sexual. However, that doesn't mean they don't understand or cannot feel when something isn't quite right. Most children do not realize why they are uncomfortable being around naked people, but they have a gut feeling that they know is amiss. They become aware that something is making them feel unsafe. An intuition telling them to leave, avoid contact and find a safe adult. This intuition is what helps save countless children from falling victim to abuse. It is important to follow the lead of these natural progressions and validate that there are some parts of the body that should be private. Validating this isn't to teach shame, nor is it to make the child feel a stigma—it reinforces healthy boundaries for themselves and others. Teaching children that a naked adult stranger being around them is appropriate erodes the important natural boundaries children should have with others. This is especially true if a trusted adult is actively telling them that nudity is a positive thing while exposing the child to it. This also opens the door for an adult to persuade a child into taking their own  clothes off, putting the child in a perilous situation - potentially leading to assault and/or child pornography. This movement is creating a playground for predators, grooming children into dangerous adult-child relationships. There is a small portion of the population trying to normalize children being around naked adult strangers, and we fear that they are using the radical queer movement to push their agenda. We cannot believe this even needs to be said, but a grown man showing a child their private parts is completely unacceptable and should set off major alarm bells. What kind of message are we sending to our kids? Do we really want them to think it's okay to ignore their instincts and stay quiet just to avoid body-shaming or being offended by something "natural?” Do we want our children to believe that it is normal and safe to be around naked men exposing their genitals? Are we okay with the potential consequences this movement has? This behavior blurs the line for kids, making it harder for them to understand what is safe and what is not. Our top priority should be protecting the well-being of our children. During Pride Month, it is crucial for our community to have open conversations that address these tough questions with a commitment to true equality. Our children’s safety and innocence are on the line.

If being pro-trans means defending the cold-blooded terrorism of a child killer, then it is understandable how average Americans would view gender extremism as the human rights disaster it has shown itself to be. Excusing the behavior of a demented cross-dresser who likes to surround himself with children and pole dance as “gender expression,” sends the message that what this person is doing is not only normal, but publicly acceptable. It is neither. Trans activism has shown itself to be the biggest threat to child safety that we have seen in our lifetime. It is grooming. A seemingly fringe belief system has taken a totalitarian level of control over our language and culture, fundamentally changing the rules for how we are allowed to describe the devastating atrocities committed by the worst kinds of people. In this new system, sex offenders get awards and positions of power in “Pride” charities, but the gay people who sound the alarms get framed as the villain. A news segment denouncing a child murderer is tarred with “hate speech” allegations. Gay people who denounce pedophile propaganda get branded with fabricated terms like “cis-supremacists” and dangerous antisemitic conspiracy theories, ultimately framing a Jewish woman as Adolf Hitler. This new system demands the submission of well-meaning people, using hate campaigns and pressured speech to silence anyone who recognizes material reality. Not only is it grooming of children, but it is grooming society to accept the grooming of children. Last week, the Southern Poverty Law Center had the audacity to add Gays Against Groomers to their "Extremist Files" and say that our description of Audrey Hale, the deeply disturbed woman who shot up an elementary school, as a "deranged psychopath" was discriminatory. We stand by what we said and gladly say it again: Audrey Hale was a deranged psychopath. She deserves no respect whatsoever, and anyone who mourned her death or excused the bloodshed should be ashamed of themselves. And yet their behavior is unsurprising because the same genderqueer communists who rally in support of a school shooter accuse parents of being domestic terrorists for speaking at school board meetings. Go figure. SPLC’s website does not provide a reference list, but when you take the time to click through their linked sources, you will find hit pieces, celebrity gossip, communist blogs, Wikipedia, corporate hate campaigns from the past, and more nonsense. For instance, in November 2022, the Southern Poverty Law Center reported that Newsweek has "taken a marked radical right turn by buoying extremists and promoting authoritarian leaders.” The mistake they made was citing Newsweek as a source in an article about Gays Against Groomers. That is not a professional investigation; that’s just lazy. The same author went into deep dives about volunteers from our organization who were removed over a year ago, with rumors based on Kardashian tabloids and a brief internet beef we had with Bruce Jenner on social media last summer. But if you ask the queers, even they seem to know that Jenner is prone to publicity stunts, and is therefore not to be taken seriously. They irresponsibly sourced information from Alemandra Caraballo, a very unstable individual with a history of stalking, doxxing, anti-gay harassment, and failed attempts at vilifying the women who founded our organization. This information is outdated and incorrect. The introduction to SPLC’s hit piece states “GAG has more than a dozen chapters in the United States and abroad.” We now have double that amount of state chapters and are currently only operating within the US. Downplaying our number of chapters is clearly an intentional attempt at downplaying our entire organization. Let this formal response show that The SPLC's accusations were not only hostile, incorrect, and mentally ill, but they reflect pure prejudice. Their persistent lying is unacceptable. We have a right to defend ourselves against intolerance with integrity and return the favor by adding them to our platform, as well. SPLC, you're on our RADAR. 1.) Accusation (Censorship): “The group also supports censoring LGBTQ+ people, topics and images.” Response: The author cites misinformation from an organized censorship campaign, courtesy of GLAAD, HRC, and Media Matters to get us banned from the internet. This is an extremist version of “censoring LGBTQ+ people, topics, and images.” 2.) Accusation (“Critical Race Theory” books): Gays Against Groomers attacks anti-racist and LGBTQ+ inclusive education practices. Their evidence was an article that did not even mention us. Response: Gays Against Groomers has consistently been clear in our messaging: We request that sexually explicit books about harming children be removed from the classroom. 3.) Accusation (Drag for kids): “The group characterizes these people and institutions as ‘groomers’ because they support gender-affirming health care and/or because they offer spaces for LGBTQ+ people to express their identity openly, such as space for drag performances (the satirical sendup of gender roles).” Response: If you need to strip for children in order to openly express your gender identity, then yes, we demand that you be less open about it. 4.) Accusation (problematic flag) They claim that our flag discriminates against LGBTQ+ people of color, noting that “a version of the Progress Pride Flag that replaces stripes representing LGBTQ+ people of color and trans people with the GAG logo. Response: Both the Progress Pride Flag and Transgender Pride Flag were invented by white men, neither of whom identify as gay. The baby blue and baby pink flag was invented by a straight white man who crossdressed in his mother's underwear and had sick fantasies about kids. We even went on the news to report on it as a way to warn the public about what his movement represents. According to our viral RADAR exposé, "He confessed to stealing women’s underwear, including his own mother’s, and went on to write erotic fantasies about his fetish. In a story from his novel 'tales from a two-gendered mind,' Hogge/Helms wrote a story sexualizing a 'magical woman' who permanently looked like a teenage girl.” Yes, we demand that the baby blue and baby pink stripes be removed from our flag. They represent sexual exploitation and surgically violating little girls and boys. There is no pride in sexually mutilating vulnerable children with weekly injections that make them sick. We do not consent to the banner of perversion being displayed in our name. It is a symbol of oppression and needs to be banned in all 50 states. Get it OUT of the schools and throw it in the garbage where it belongs. If nobody is going to remove the pedophile iconography for us, then it will be blacked out. We sincerely hope you are offended, and we stamped on our logo just to rub it in. Bite me. 5.) Accusation (problematic post on GAG X, formerly Twitter): Response: That was a joke. No, Gays Against Groomers is not encouraging people to throw children off of cliffs. Are you out of your mind? 6.) Accusation (Gay fascism): “GAG has attempted to harness the energy of QAnon conspiracies by enlisting its leaders from among the QAnon movement, but also by recruiting adherents of other conspiratorial and extremist ideologies including COVID-19 and anti-vaccination conspiracies, 2020 election conspiracists, antigovernment militias, anti-Muslim extremists and white supremacists … contemporary right-wing extremists … conservative loyalists … Trump insiders … a continuation of QAnon conspiracies – and GAG leaders’ involvement with the movement prior to founding GAG.” Response: Schizophrenic claims of us being MAGA dictator supervillains who are taking over the government and overthrowing democracy all stem from a ridiculous Media Matters hit piece authored by Mia Gingerich, a straight man who supports poisoning autistic kids with pedophile castration drugs. We do not identify with QAnon, Adolf Hitler, satanic pizza parlors, The Westboro Baptist Church, or Anita Bryant. We have members from all political backgrounds and a commitment to nonpartisanship. Some of us came from the gay rights movement. We have lesbians who have been warning about “gender identity” legislation since 1994. I am a founding member of GAG, and I have never voted Republican. But I had no problem reaching across the political aisle to fight for a common cause that I felt was important. No gay movement has ever been politically homogeneous, and the same is true for ours. Our community has a history of doing activism by building bridges with one another when we do not see eye-to-eye on everything. This is not new. Anti-gay narcissists were not able to stop us in the past, and we will not let them stop us now. Their evidence for us being far-right QAnon conspiracy overlords was the fact that we were guests on The Megyn Kelly show and make regular appearances in Fox News stories. We would like to point out that we just launched a weekly radio show on a progressive network; we do podcasts and interviews with people of all types; and Megyn Kelly is an icon. At one point, they assert that we posted an Alex Jones conspiracy about the “deep state,” however no citation of the post was provided. 7.) Accusation (Groomer is an anti-LGBTQ+ slur): “Gays Against Groomers uses ‘groomer’ rhetoric to attack people who support gender-affirming care and LGBTQ+ rights.” Response: Imagine having the audacity to claim that an organization called Gays Against Groomers is “prejudiced towards LGBTQ+ people?” The SPLC are the ones equating LGBTQ+ with grooming, not the other way around. Nobody has a civil right to convince children that they are trapped in the wrong body, keep secrets from their parents, amputate their healthy body parts, or dress up like a stripper and dance provocatively for an audience of toddlers. Boundaries exist for a reason, groomer. We are saying NO. 8.) Accusation (Gender-affirming Cancer): “GAG relies on the false characterization that it is protecting children. By limiting health care options … GAG is maintaining homophobic and transphobic oppression that jeopardizes the health and safety of children and the stability of American civil society.” Response: The SPLC relies on the false characterization that injecting 9-year-olds with Leuprorelin, a prostate cancer drug that was once used to castrate high-risk sex offenders, which is not FDA-approved and prescribed off-label in gender clinics, is a form of lifesaving health care. Children need to be protected from gender-affirming cancer, and we are the ones showing up in court to get it outlawed. Moms and dads across “American civil society,” both straight and gay, are grateful for what our movement has been able to accomplish. The leading medical professionals in England, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, The Netherlands, France, and Germany align with our position that “blocking puberty” is dangerous. The decision to shut down the clinics was made in order to protect children from irreversible harm. It did not jeopardize the health and safety of children or the stability of Finnish civil society. We are extremely proud to be on the right side of history. 9.) Accusation (“This isn't happening”): The article cited hit pieces from PinkNews and LGBTQ Nation which compared Jaimee Michell to nazis (again) and went on to say that “no major American medical organization recommends bottom surgery for minors as part of a gender-affirming health care plan,” which was very confusing, to say the least. Response: If these services go against the medical standards…then they should not be offered, right? If pediatric genital mutilation is not happening, then banning such barbaric procedures in all fifty states will not change anything…right? Well, the problem is that these surgeries are being done on children, and the scars of medical malpractice will last a lifetime. "I'm proud of my scars … I call them my battle wounds," Jazz Jennings said in an ominous People Magazine article, complete with a photoshoot showing off the surgical scars. Dr. Bowers, a famous gynecologist from WPATH, performed a vaginoplasty on a minor, and the complications were life-threatening. A minor had their genitals mangled and torn apart on television for millions of viewers. They refer to gay jewish women as Nazis, but the word “groomer” is taking it too far? According to their own ideology, misgendering is a form of “anti-LGBTQ+ violence” but carving up teenage lesbians and removing their organs is noble and inclusive. We would like to remind them that being misgendered does not require months of bed rest and healing. There is nothing noble about tomboy butchery, a hate crime committed by homophobic doctors who hate them. It might not be easy to hear, but we will continue to shout it from the rooftops until this madness is ended for good. We will not let these criminals get away with it – not in our name. 10.) Accusation (“Dragphobia”): The SPLC falsely claims that we have a goal to end drag performances, yet they provide no source for this accusation because it is an outright lie. Response: People can wear what makes them happy. We just disapprove of grown men in fishnets twerking in children's faces. We hold signs that say, “DRAG IS NOT FOR KIDS!” at our peaceful rallies, not “MAKEUP IS NOT FOR MEN!” 11.) Accusation (Lesbian Erasure): At one point, they picked apart fragments of various unrelated quotes from our founder and president, Jaimee Michell, as evidence of her internal anti-trans bigotry. The botched quotes are from an interview where she was discussing her concerns about how female erasure is impacting the lesbian community. Taking her statements out-of-context as a way to smear her is homophobic manipulation. Response: The homophobes conveniently forgot to cite their source for these allegedly dehumanizing statements that "deny the humanity and existence of trans people.” Did they get this information from Bruce Jenner, as well? A quick Google search shows that it was actually taken from a portion of her Breitbart interview displayed below: Lesbians are female. Men cannot be lesbians. Every gay person knows this. Cry about it. 12.) Accusation (Detransitioners): “GAG has, in fact, partnered with anti-trans detransitioners – people who previously benefited from gender-affirming care, but stopped transitioning and now work to end gender-affirming care for others.” Response: GAG has, in fact, welcomed detransitioners into our movement with open arms while the alphabet mafia insists on demonizing them and denying their existence. A disproportionate amount of detransitioners are gay people. They reach out to us all the time asking for help because they feel like they have no one to turn to. Some of them are public about their experience; some of them are anonymous; some of them are dealing with debilitating illnesses; some of them are navigating the aftermath of gender-affirming malpractice; some of them are estranged from their family and friends; some of them were first prescribed hormones after a twenty minute visit to the local Planned Parenthood; some of them are just looking for a support system in their time of need; and every single one of them has a story that deserves to be heard. There is no reason why we should shun people from within our own community because they disprove the “gender identity” narrative. If trans extremists are offended by the existence of detransitioners, then that is too bad. The detrans reckoning is here, whether you like it or not. These people deserve justice, not censorship. 13.) Accusation (Gay Conversion Therapy 2.0): "GAG Missouri chapter leader Chris Barrett dismissed trans identity, claiming most trans kids are 'just gay' kids who are being forced to transition by their parents and permissive medical practices. GAG used similar rhetoric at the Anaheim, California, rally where participants held signs reading, 'Stop Transing [sic] Gay Kids.'" Response: Dr. Ren Massey, who is currently an active member of the World Professional Association of Transgender Health (WPATH), was recently on record saying that when given time to grow up and figure out their sexuality, a lot of patients "clarify some of their gender issues." The mass-medicalization of gender nonconforming children is very new and only started a few years ago. Throughout history, the standard practice was to leave these children alone and not rush them down the path of transition because most of them, an upwards of 88%, outgrow their feelings of discomfort and wind up being happy gay adults. Doctors, surgeons, and even the New York Times have confirmed that this is Gay Conversion Therapy 2.0, as well. It is not hateful to speak the truth. We want everybody to know that if you support transitioning children, then you are nothing but a vile homophobe, and we look upon you with scorn. 14.) Accusation (Lighting trans people on fire): Gays Against Groomers is violent and calls on its members to burn trans people to the ground. Response: No. We specifically advocate against violence. Nobody is trying to light trans people on fire. 15.) Accusation (LGBTQ+ insanity): “[Gays Against Groomers] wants to ‘reclaim the community we once called our own’ and has described its mission to ‘put an end’ to the ‘insanity’ of the modern LGBTQ+ movement’s ‘alphabet religion.’” Response: That is correct. 16.) Accusation (Jaimee Michell is Gay Hitler): The author accuses GAG of upholding “white cis-supremacy” and that we believe “trans identity is a threat to white cis-supremacy … Combined with a racialized fear that trans identity can undermine white cis-supremacy, GAG justifies eliminating the perceived threat to white children by censoring information about LGBTQ+ experiences, controlling access to all technology and banning gender-affirming health care.” They followed up this accusation by calling our founder a Nazi (again). Response: Source? If they are implying that all of our volunteers are white, then they are highly mistaken. We were founded by a lesbian couple, neither of whom are white men. How many times are trans extremists going to compare her to Hitler before it becomes problematic? No, seriously. Is the doxxing and proliferation of misinformation about a Jewish lesbian, calling her a Nazi homophobe considered acceptable behavior? We assume the SPLC would know better, given that they claim to conquer bigotry and racism. What a disgusting organization you are. 17.) Accusation (problematic op-ed): “GAG Washington leader Alex Chrostowski continues this line of thought, claiming, ‘There seems to be a perverse race to the bottom’ in which students seek to “prove their own claims about how ‘disadvantaged’ they are by feigning mental illness and displaying ‘increasingly disruptive attitudes or behaviors in class.’ These behaviors are brought about, Chrostowski claims, by access to information and a permissive social climate that ‘celebrates any divergence from the norm, ie white, straight, cisgender’ and treats whiteness and heterosexuality as ‘if they are to be barely tolerated.’” Response: This was taken from one of RADAR's best op-eds – a beautifully written piece about how social media culture is affecting the mental health of teenage girls and causing disruptive behaviors in the classroom. Her analysis of identity, victimhood, and self-esteem was spot-on. Ms. Chrostowski really outdid herself with that one. Thank you so much for recognizing her brilliance. Bravo. chefs kiss 18.) Accusation (taken from the “INTIMIDATION CAMPAIGNS” section): Throughout 2022 and 2023, GAG members staged in-person events, participating in demonstrations, protests, testifying in legislatures, and sometimes local school board meetings … Michell, too, participates in this ‘ground team,’ appearing in 2023 at the Moms for Liberty Summit in Philadelphia.” Response: Gay people have a history of staging protests, testifying in legislatures, and standing up against injustice. But now we are expected to keep quiet because free speech makes nonbinary folx feel intimidated? If holding signs that say, “Kids Can't Consent” is considered a threat to the gender movement, then that is they/them's problem, not ours. Giving a speech at the Moms For Liberty's conference about parental rights and the public education system is not an intimidation campaign. 19.) Accusation (LGBTQ+ Politicians): The article accused us of disliking “LGBTQ+ Politicians” and the example they provided was proven to be a hoax. “In December 2022, Erik Bottcher, an openly gay New York City Council member, reported harassing phone calls and protests outside his office after attending a drag story hour. Bottcher later reported that two women who “were a part of Gays Against Groomers” graffitied his office and, while he was attending synagogue, entered his apartment building, and were arrested for trespassing. The women used the same rhetoric employed by GAG to demonize LGBTQ+ people in public life. On Dec. 20, 2022, Bottcher tweeted a video of the people he identified as drag story hour protesters assaulting one of his neighbors.” Response: If the person who wrote this article was acting in good faith, then they would have clarified that this story wound up being FALSE, and the media issued a retraction. We have addressed this hoax multiple times. “On December 19th, all of us were in Arizona for a convention. The people in the news story about vandalizing Erik Bottcher’s office are not in our organization. We have no idea who these people are. And we were bewildered when we saw this news story pop up while all of us were together, on the other side of the country. It was proven to be yet another hoax. We had nothing to do with it. Accusations of terrorism have been disproven. We have every right to call out inappropriate behavior from WITHIN our own so-called “community.” Banning our organization from multiple platforms is anti-gay censorship. Claiming that an organization run by a lesbian couple is "anti-LGBTQ" is homophobic. It shows the true colors of the people pushing this political narrative.” We show and receive support for gay politicians all the time. Some of our members are running for office in local elections, and we are actively endorsing gay politicians whose campaigns are aligned with our mission. This is a LIE. REMOVE THESE ACCUSATIONS IMMEDIATELY. 20.) Accusation (Scott Weiner): “GAG shared a doctored photo of openly gay California state Sen. [Scott Weiner] holding a book with the title altered to read, ‘SB 107 How to Legally Kidnap Children by Scott Wiener.’” Response: Yes, and we did it again last Tuesday. 21.) Accusation (GAG vandalized West Hollywood): The final section reiterated more disproven accusations of Gays Against Groomers hunting down drag queens and vandalizing traffic poles in West Hollywood. Response: Oddly enough, they forgot to cite their sources. Does it have anything to do with the fact that these stories were popularized by GLAAD's defamatory article, which was later debunked? "GLAAD's defamatory article accuses our organization of harassing drag queens in Washington, despite having no evidence. The source they cited did not even mention us (Steele, 2023). For such a powerful corporation, GLAAD should stop lying about gay people to the public ... GLAAD [also] claims that we vandalized West Hollywood in order to harass drag queens. Their proof was that a sticker from our merch store was found on a pole. The sticker and graffiti were not put there by members of Gays Against Groomers. The fact that somebody hung up a sticker with our logo printed on it does not provide evidence that we vandalized Los Angeles. That is absurd." 22.) Accusation (misinformation): Gays Against Groomers “spreads misinformation about LGBTQ+ people and gender-affirming care.” Response: We could say the same thing about the Southern Poverty Law Center, but at least we have the decency to list our sources.
